Default Why no rib on the rear fender?

Always wondered that since they put one on the tank of the N. I think it would be cool. Maybe I'll get a Chica fender.

I agree with you desire to extend the theme from tank to fender (both front and back) would rule. Thought the same thing.

But overall the "rib" needs to be more pronounced to gain style points. It almost can be viewed as poor craftsmanship on the tank, as opposed to being by design.
